The major standard history of the first wave of settlers who arrived in Tasmanias East Coast between 1821 and 1831 and who developed the wide area. First published in 1990, but long unavailable, it follows with humour and historical authenticity the pioneering struggles of the first settlers, their interaction with each other, their encounters with Aborigines and bushrangers, and the family histories of the leading settlers.

Maureen Martin Ferris was Curator (now retired) of the East Coast Heritage Museum, Swansea, Tasmania, and is a leading historian and genealogist.
